Puddle fun!

Every time it rains our street temporarily floods leaving behind wonderful flowing puddles as they drain away.  They are perfect for floating a boat down the street!

 Just in case running and jumping didn't provide enough wetness, there is always crawling....

 

 Or better yet, laying down!

 

Which usually ends with a different sort of water-play!

A Favor

Here are two Zach-stories from the past few weeks.



The other night while getting the boys ready for bed, Zach said,
     "Hey mom, will you do me a favorite?"

Zach has also been very interested in sword fighting lately.  My mother was tired of getting her knuckles hit by our wooden-spoon-swords so she purchased two foams ones.  When she told Zach about the foam swords  he asked if she had gotten three so that Eli could have one.  She told him that she hadn't thought about that and had only purchased two.  The next week as they were playing with the new swords they had the following conversation:

Yia yia: "Zach, remember not to be too rough with the swords so that they don't break!"

Zach: "If one breaks we would need to buy another one.  Then you could buy two of them so that we would have three!!"

***He must get his math skills from his father.
